What about commissioner from the
first district? We will tell you. Capt.
A. l.. Freeman is the democratic nomi-
nee, and it is the duty of every good
democrat to vote for him. Capt. Free
man is to-day the best qualified man
for the position in the district. He has
made life study of public matters,
though he was never an office-holder
or Otfice-seeker. He has had most ex-
cellent business training and has proved
success in watching after his own af-
fairs, and therefore he would likely be
as careful with county matters. He is
level-headed, conservative man, one
who always thinks twice before he
speaks. He is identified with the coun-
ty, owning a farm west OF here ten
miles, and besides some property in the
city. During the five years residence
in the county Capt. Freeman has ever
been found in the ranks of progress.
He has at all times favored internal i'm
provements, and to him as much as 70
any other man in the county, should be
given credit for whatever the county
and district have in the way of bridges,
railroads, and other public improve
ments.

Republican Resolutions.

Following are the resolutions adopted by the
Barber County Republican convention Septem-
Der 10, 1887, and, on the same day, rescnded:
We, the representatives of the republican
party OF Barber county. having listened with
patience to the gasconade of a democratic con-
Vention, and the harmless illusions of the un-
ion labor party, now wish to promulgate a few
truths to an intelligent constituency
We cannot endorse, i'm company with our
democratic friends, the administration of Gro
ver Cleveland. and we regret that the demo-
cratic partizans of Barber county are unable
TO distinguish between the pig-headed obstina-
cy of the present incumbent and the patriotic
firmncss of Andrew jackson.
We arraign the democratic party as recreant
TO every trust, and false to every promise il
has made to the American people
Its president, who employed substitute TO
90 MS nRntlnR, ana then, in spasm of ecOnO-
my, neglected to pay said substitute for his ser
vices, now sits i'm the presidential chair oniov-
ing a princely salary, and vetoes every bill
which looks To the relief of those who lost their
health that he might enjoy the blessings of an
undivided union.
While covering Its person with the msnv-col
ored cloak of reform, il has harrassed the set
tiers ON government land with senseless re-
qulrements and petty annoyances thereby
causing the settlers Of Barber county the un
necessary expenditure OF thousands upon
thousands OF dollars, and has forced many
land and home.
In mockery of its gilded promises to the de-
tenders OF the nation, it has flied the places of
highest trust with unrepentant rebels and
crowded the consular and diplomatic service
with those who fought to destroy the Union.
SAILING into power under the hypocritical
banner of civil service reform il has ollsted
thousands Of efficient servants, and filled their
places, in many instances with incompetent
itentiary.
We demand that the useless surplus in the
United States treasury shall be disbursed i'm
Union,
We believe that labor and capital are identi-
cal in their interests, and ask for the passage
operation.
Instead of relieving the treasury of it's sur
plus by any system of judicOus legislation the
democratic party has piled additional millions
in the vaults, TO the serious detriment of com

HaIaltnn Hannaninna

The type made us say $50, when we
intended to say $50, in speaking of the
board bill that Rlgg asked to be paid
Tor boarding prisoner at Kiowa......
The Express don't deny that Peck al
lowed the city funds to be used for cul-
tivating the park, but says the parks
belong to the city. We only ask that
the record be produced, showing the
people just when they got title to the
property. We consider the records the
best evidence as TO title....,...We have
another little matter that we wish to
speak Of, and we want to give Mr. Peck
time to reply before election Some
time, over year ago, the citizens OF
Iazelton appointed a committee to
work fer the building of the Fort Scott
railroad to HaZeltOn, and Mayor Peck
was chairman of the committee. The
road was built through Hazelton, and
on to KiOwa. The committee had rails
ed S225 or $3.50, by subscription, which
they had right to use, and no ques-
tons to be asked. The city voted SIS
600, with the understanding that the
railroad company was to get $4,000,
and the city $1,000. After the road was
completed, the chairman of the COM
mittee, we believe, made report, show
ing some seven or eight lawyers en-
ployed. at cost of $500 or $500; 81 900
given to Blaine township, in Harper
county: several hundred used to paw
tor right-of-way in Harper county, and
few hundred to pay for right way
between Hazelton and Kiowa, $500 to
help carry the election lin Blaine and
Eagle townships, in Harper county;
several town lots given to the railroad
company to get the depot located on
Church street, and, finally, a debt of
81 500 or $1,000, which the taxpayers
are asked to pay by voting more city
bonds. Now, let US bear i'm mind that
Z. B. Peck was not acting in an official
capacity, but only as chairman of the
committee : yet he coolly appropriated
I'll the funds, few town lots. and :
debt yet to pay. Mr.. Peck NAV claim
that re did not buy Esics. but then he
coulG hardly be chairman of the COM
mittee and be ignorant of what the
committee was doing. We don't think
1t viii be any great task to substantiaie
the above facts. And yet f. b. Peck
would like to be placed as guard over
our county funds. Not bad scheme
If the people want a railroad built, but
If they have na railrpad to build, then
Idon't think Peck is suitable man to
take charge of the county money. He
is little too liberal. CITIZEN.

Think of George Sexton invested
with the powers OF county Surveyor
A man who is acknowledged by his own
partisans to be the most disreputable
man in the republican party; one who
has been mixed up in more land
schemes who has made more fatal
blunders in making proofs for claim
ants than any man in the county; who
has caused more trouble among his
neighbors; who threatened the life of
his own father; who unlawfully kept
his father out of the position of post
master for weeks; a man against whom
his own neighbors made most serious
atiidaylts. We say think of such man
for county surveyor! Think Of his ig-
norsnce Of the first principles OF sur
veying! Is 1t possible that such man
can expect votes from any source?

Tronhlea of a nraat NAN

A paper in this city went away out of
its way last week to intimate that Jerry
Simpson was put On the petit jury that
he might be kept out of the canvass.
AS we understand it, Mr.. Simpsons
name Was drawn with the others on
the regular panel, aud We can't imagine
how ii could otherwise have been put
there. Jerry is an awful smart man,
the real brains Of The union labor party
in this county, as we have before stated;
but he is not OF 50 mucii Importance
that he can expect to escape jury ser
vice. His party should be glad that
their leader has the opportunity to sic
in the jury box aud watch out that
''souiless corporations and bloodless
sharks do not get The poor laboring
man by the throat"

The people of this county will not
submit TO a third term for any man.
Doc Rigg was elected sheriff in 1881
and again in 1888, and now he wants it
again. Even Gen. Grant tried the
same plan and failed. He was elected
in 1868, reelected in 1872, laid off four
years and in 1880 the people would not
have him. Certainly Doc Rigg is not a
bigger or better man than the hero of
APpomattOx. Judge Stevens is the
coming man and those who would vote
for the winning man will remember
him November Sth.
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1887-10-19

Judge Stevens il a bold, fearless. and
impartial officer, and we have to hear
of the first man who questions his SUI
perior fitness for the Office. There IS
no comparison between him and either
of his opponents. Major Lemont is a
cold, austere, OverbeaFing man; one
who has no interests In Barber county;
who only boarded at Kiowa while he
held cattle in the territory for n New
York capitalist, A. T. Rice; who is a
joke oB the ticket as a laboring man;
whose habits, character and former vo-
cation are not in harmony with the in
terests of Barber county. Doc Rigg is
nothing more than q willy pollution
who is running on his record as an old
settler and who has twice been elected
to Office on that meaningless claim.
The county has hundreds of old settlers
better suited for sheriff.

Am Allen is in every way qualified
for county clerk; he is a young man
who has never held or even asked tor
an Office; he is an industrious mechanic
who has served more than his seven
years in actual labor; and now it would
be nothing but fair to elect him. On
the other hand, one of his opponents,
Mr.. Rouse, does not need the office; he
has had a long and strong pull at the
public teat, and he has no particular
claims on the people or his party.
Scott Cummins has not done one
square weeks work in Eve years, if re-
ports are true, unless heavy standing
round and pOetical dreaming can be
called work. Am Allen is by far the
beol man of the thrrr for the Office of
county clerk.

kind man, and good neighbor; but
his best friends will not claim that he
is any way fitted for county treasurer.
TIE question then is between Peck. the
scl.emer and speculatOr, and Bryson.
the democratic nominee. Peck is an
adventurer, an oil speculator, vision
airy. unthOughtful man. He would be
a dangerous man in the county treasu-
rer's office. Bryson is successful bu-
siness man. Vote for him.
